Is this item a part of that equation?

I certainly don't want to get under anyones finger nails, but it takes both sides of the equation to make money in this business, unless you are financially self-sufficient.

It has taken many years to work the equation that makes us that successful, but it comes to good houses in good areas and only accepting good people with good DTI and are financeable in the next 12 months.

And even for all those "hate to leave equity lay" folks  keeping the asset a few more months equates to a 16% or so return on that equity in exchange for a little patience.

You have to mentally accept, if you go this route, if you want a deal, you are likely looking at renovating.If I were in your shoes, I'd take myself mentally out of the equation, and look at the numbers-- where can I buy a house, or a multi-family house and make the most?

The part of the equation you're missing is the possibility of a sorry agent.
